This is one of four drawings created by Glackens in 1909 as illustrations for "The Practical Joke," a story by Eden Phillpotts in Putnam's Magazine . The story tells the tale of a man named Edward Bickford, whose silver racing trophy is stolen from his bar, the Seven Stars by his brother, Forrester. The robbery is discovered by two of the narrator's friends when they attempt to play a practical joke on him. This drawing depicts the story's narrator walking home from a bar with two friends.
